a lady crossing her arms talking to a man
a lady crossing her arms talking to a man who is talking to a woman, and who, in turn, are talking to a man who is talking to a woman, in a way that suggests the tension between the two. All the women in this picture are of the same age, and all look slightly alike: wrinkled, tanned, wan. In the context of a photograph, the look is all too obvious, but is there something lurking beneath the surface? It seems that when the photograph is taken, as in this picture, the women are not merely the background for the men. This is what makes one realize that the women in the photo are the faces of the man and woman in the photograph, as well as the faces of the man and the woman in the photograph. They are not a reflection on the man in the photograph, but the reflection on the man in the photograph. In other words, the women are not in any way a reflection on the men in the photograph, but the reflection of the men in the photograph.The other photograph, Woman Sitting on a Bed, is another kind of reflection on the man. Again, the women in the photograph are not in any way reflections of the man in the photograph. In this case, the men are not the subjects of the photograph, but the reflection of the man in the photograph. In a way, the reflection is the opposite of the one in the previous picture. Here the women are the men of the photograph, and the men in the photograph are reflected in the women in the photograph. The women in the photograph are reflected in the man in the photograph. In a sense, the man in the photograph is the subject of the women in the photograph, the reflection of the reflection.
. In a number of pictures the artist exhibits a similar equine-stockinged appearance, but here the horse is naked and is wandering among the males. In one, an elaborate collage of oil paintings is juxtaposed with an interior view of a horse, but in a second the horse is so decayed that it looks like a dead beast, and a third shows the artist riding the horse. But whereas the horse appears to be wandering freely, the men are conspicuously disciplined and secluded. It is as though they are being watched by a certain detachment.These pictures, with their almost photographic precision and their apparent lack of any human presence, are just a few of the many forces at work in the photographs. They are like a way of capturing a phantom rider in a room of his own making, but without the presence of an identifiable subject.

The two may also be seen in a group of casual photographs taken from the road, presumably in a city, and from the window of a passing car. The photos, which were included in the show as a sample of one of the artist-generations work, are of women. But what is so striking about them is their concentration on the male gaze, which, though hard to see, is immediately recognizable. They can be taken as illustrations of gay desire, but also as signs of social stigmatization. The second works are less explicit. Rather than a shot of an unknown person being photographed, they are simply a series of black-and-white photos that have been cropped out. The result is a self-referential pictorial technique, which is, for the most part, self-referential as well.The exhibition also includes photographs of oversize hands, which are of the same size as the photographs, and of the same size as the photographs, except that the hands are also black-and-white. The gesture is an implicit criticism of photography, a critique that is echoed by the shows title, Ein grosse Gürtliche Widerstand (The Big Picture), which means, more or less, above all, above all.The exhibition ends with a series of work on paper that consists of eight sheets of paper. One group of the works is almost entirely abstract, and they form a grid, although not in the usual sense. There are two individual sheets of paper that are composed of squares. A group of works consists of rectangles, which are one of the most basic shapes, and one of the most exquisite. Another group consists of circles, with black-and-white casts. The circles are arranged on a white surface, which is dotted with dots.

They're entirely alone and only their movements blur the lines between foreground and background.The parceled production is so tightly wound and mediated that it hardly matters how. So, too, with the correspondence of text and image. Sometimes it looks like the materiality of the images is an afterthought, but more often it's a matter of course. The eye is so concerned with the kind of readability of the text that it loses track of the subject as it becomes confused by the transmission of meaning. The digital text, for example, is a matter of information, and therefore so much a matter of signification. The problem is that the medium has rendered it superfluous. Or, as is suggested by the title, the unreadability of the text has become a matter of form. The image is no longer the actual center of the work but merely a means of communication. In the meantime, the image has become a representation of information, and it has lost its capacity to convey the work.The museum is in the same position as the artist. In a sense, the museum is the site of the end of a tradition of imagery. It is the place where images are presented in the first place, and it is the place where they are transmitted as meaning. The work of art, therefore, is now its own medium. Here, the message is to be read in the first and, more importantly, to be heard. This is a problem that the shows title, Quixotic Objectivity, seems to pose. The work of art is a public display of information. But in order to be heard, it must be read. Only then will the work be understood, and it will become an esthetic experience. The question of textual transmission is a thorny one, for one must know the content of the information in order to understand the work. The work is not a statement of meaning, but rather an attempt to communicate the message.
a lady crossing her arms talking to a man outside of a tree. A man in a yellow shirt stands outside the tree, looking at the girl in an undulating skirt. Her skirt is pulled down over her hips and down the neck, and a man in a striped shirt stands nearby, his face slightly flushed and his hands in the crook of his jeans. Theres an even lighter touch with a small white cotton candy-pop adornment on the neck of the guy in the shirt. This is the one adornment of the silhouette of a man on a street corner. And then, there is a kind of lighthearted caricature of a man and a girl. A man in a cowboy hat stands with a plaid plaid underneath his coat. He turns a with a flash of orange and a red-orange hand on his hip. He is looking at a girl on a bench. The girl in the plaid plaid is looking at a man in a tie. She is a bit too far out to be sure, but her partner is already waiting. In one of the most recent works, a man is crossing the street in the same trench coat as the man in the same coat. But the man, who is wearing a tie, has a red tie on his belt and a check-necked collar. The pose is awkward and theatrical. Its the kind of pose that one expects to find in a film of some sort. The whole thing is ridiculous and pointless.The works that are meant to be seen from the street are all included in the show, and they are all very different. The best ones are those that have a much more lived element. They are all very much urban in their elements. But theres an atmosphere of quiet, but a kind of mourning that is all too strong in these pieces. But theres a very romantic element to the work. In a sense it has been reduced to a sort of romantic, almost a sweet romanticism.
